1 John 2
1 My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous;
Vahwile, ni mi ñolela izi zintu kwenu nji kuti kanji mu chiti chivi. Kono heva zumwi na chita zivi, twina mu zimanini ni Tayo, Jesu Kirisite, yenke yo lukite.
2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
Mu sunguli wa zivi zetu, mi isiñi zetu bulyo, kono ze nkanda yonse.
3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Kechi twizi kuti tu mwizi: heva ni tu vika intaelo zakwe.
4 He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
Zuna yo wamba,” Ni izi Ireza,” kono ka viki milao yakwe, u chenga, mi initi kaina mwali.
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
Kono yense yo vika inzwi lya kwe, cha vuniti vwi zwile, nji mo zuna muntu kuti i lato lya Ireza li va chitwa tota. Kechi twizi kuti twina mwali.
6 He that says he abides in him ought, even as he walked, himself also [so] to walk.
Iye yo wamba kuti u shala mwa Ireza u swanela naye ku yenda uvu Jesu Krisite mwa vayendeli.
7 Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.
Basakiwa, Kani ñoli mulao muhya kwenu, kono wa kale mulao umu vena nao ku matangilo. I ntaelo ya kale i nzwi i muva zuwi.
8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
Imi ni ñola mulao muhya kwenu, ili initi mwa Kiresite ni mwenu, kakuti chinzime cha mana, mi iseli lye niti chili venyete kale.
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
Iye yo wamba kuti wina mwi seli mi kasaki mwakwe wina mu chi nzime ku sikila hanu.
10 He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
Iye yo saka mwakwe u shala mwi seli mi kakwina chi mwi mwali chiwola kumu letela chunchula.
11 But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Kono Iye ya sasaki mwakwe wina mu chinzime mi uyenda mu chinzime; kezi kwa kaya, kakuti chinzime cha mu cita vuhofu ha menso akwe.
12 I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Ni mi ñolela, bahwile ba sakahala, kakuti zivi zenu zi kwatilwe che vaka lyezina lyakwe.
13 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked [one]. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
Ni ñola kwenu va zazi, kakuti mwizi iye ku zwa kuma tangilo. Ni ñola kwenu, mi lombwana, kakuti mu va komi mu vilala. Ni vami ñoleli va hwile va nini, kakuti mwizi Itayo. Ni va mi ñoleli va zazi, kakuti mwizi iye yo zwa kuma tangilo.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [one].
Ni va ñoli kwenu mu va lombwana, ka kuti mukolete, mi inzwi lya Ireza li shala mwenu, mi muva komi muvilala.
15 Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;
Kanji mu saki inkanda kamba zintu zina mwi inkanda, heva kwina yo saka inkanda, i lato lya Itayo kalina mwali.
16 because all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Linu zonse zina mwi inkanda -ku lakamina kwe nyama, ku la kamina kwa menso, ni ku li tundumwina vuhalo- ka ku zwi kwa Itayo kono kuzwa mwi inkanda.
17 And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. (aiōn g165)
Inkanda ni ntakazo yateni zi hita. Kono yense yo chita ku suna kwa Ireza mwaveko kuya ukoo. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, it is [the] last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is [the] last hour.
Bahwile vanini, inako ya mamani mani. Sina mu mu va zuwili kuti vu kani vwa Kirisite u kezite, hanu vangi vakana Kerisite vavezi. Kechi twizi kuti cheli inako ya ma mani mani.
19 They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.
Vava yendi kuzwa kwetu, kono kena vavali kuzwa kwetu. Mukuti kambe vavali kuzwa kwetu ni vava shali naswe. Kono hava yenda kuzwa, ku va tondezi kena vavali kuzwa kwetu.
20 And ye have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
Kono wina i ntozo ku zwa kuyo Jolola, mi mwense mwizi vuniti.
21 I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Kena na ñola kwenu ka kuti ka mwizi vuniti, kono kakuti mu vwizi mi kakuti ka kwina mapa azwa mu vuniti.
22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
Muchengi njeni kwande yo zuna yo sampula kuti Jesu nji ye Kirisite? Zuna muntu njo lwisa Kirisite, kakuti u sampula Itayo ni mwana.
23 Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Kakwina yo sampula mwana wina Itayo. Iye mwine ulemuha mwana naye wina Itayo.
24 As for you let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
Kuya chenu, musiye zi muva zuwi ku ma tangilo zi shale mwenu. Heva zimuva zuwi ku matangilo zi shala mwenu, ka mu shale nanwe mu Mwana ni mwe Tayo.
Mi iyi insepiso ya va hi kwetu: vuhalo vusa mani. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray:
Nami ñolela izi zintu cha kuya chavo vete ni vavami zwisi mwi nzila.
27 and yourselves, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Kuya chenu, i ntozo i muva tambuli kuzwa kwali i shala mwenu, mi kamu saki umwi ku mi luta. Kono sina intozo yakwe imi luta zintu zonse mi initi mi kahena kuchenga, mi sina ka mumu va ilutilwa, mushale mwali.
28 And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
Mi linu, va hwile va sakahala, mu shale mwali, nji kuta kuti chavoneka, mutuve ni vundume mi kete tu swave havusu vwa kwiza kwakwe.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
Heva mwizi kuti ulukite, mwizi kuti zumwi ni zumwi yo panga chi lukite ava zalwa kwali.
